I can not believe I did this. Brand new rifle and first time at the range with it. I started with 70 grains of GOEX and she was shooting very well. Naturally I bumped it up to where I think a good Whitetail hunting load should be and when I go to 90 grains the rifle was right on the money. Through the process I was swabbing the bore between every shot. However, I used a patch that was just a bit snug an it is stuck big time. I can not get the raam rod out. I tried pulling with a piece of sandpaper wrapped on the rod to get a better grip - no help. I ordered a ramrod puller from Dixie and in the mean time poured oil and solvent down the bore to help loosen the crud. I think I recall an ealier post on this same topic, but I could not locate it. Any suggestions will be appreciated. I once ramed home the patched ball and then poured in the charge, but this takes the cake!
